Slow Down

A theme for the New Year?
A word?  A thought?
Resolutions?

These are all popular notions ~ popular ideas.
I'm not much into making resolutions
of the material sort ~
lose weight, exercise more, etc.
Not that these things are wrong,
I'm just not in the habit of doing it.

But, thought ought to be given routinely
to the direction our lives are going in.
The path on which we tread.
Yes.  Often.  Not just on January first.
And, so, in light of this ~ a thought.

Quietly mulling around in my mind
is this one thought ~ Slow Down.


Slow Down and rest in HIM.
Slow Down to read and meditate in HIS Word.
And, hide it in my heart.
Slow Down in order to 
spend more time with HIM in prayer and quiet.

Slow Down and really live each moment for HIM.
Enter fully into the moments HE gives.
And, invest in the lives HE has given.
Every. Single. Day.

Is that not enough?
What else is there??

May the LORD help me to truly
slow down and live.
For HIS glory.  By HIS grace.
In HIS strength.

"So teach us to number our days,
that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom."
~ Psalm 90:12 ~

May the LORD bless each one of you
in this coming year!

With Love,
Camille
